Default British army first aid instructor's badge

JUST FOR FUN. NOTE HOW THE WORD INSTRUCTOR APPEARS ON THIS IMAGE. I wonder how many escaped into use in the Army? Has anyone else got an example of a spelling mistake on a badge?

Here is a better image, I hope! Still a bit fuzzy, but you should be able to read the word INSTUCTOR.

I was glued to this thread, hoping it would not bind up. Maybe this badge is for the band-aid teacher?

The badge was issued in both gold aa and silver aa, with the same spelling mistake.
